Download or read book Incorporating guided reading into the middle school classroom written by Erin Patchak and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's classrooms, it is widely acknowledged and accepted that students in one classroom could be at many different reading levels. However, instruction continues to be a once-size-fits-all approach, in which all students are given the same materials to read. The purpose of this project is to develop and incorporate a guided reading instructional unit at the middle school level in order to improve literacy and to allow all students to be reading materials at levels appropriate to their needs. Through the use of the Group Reading and Diagnostic Evaluation, students were tested in the fall in order to identify what specific grade levels they were reading at. Through the use of the fall scores, students were placed in reading groups in which they were reading a text appropriate to their individual reading levels. Students were introduced to particular reading strategies and/or skills each day, and used their leveled text as a guide to utilize these particular strategies. In spring, the students were tested once again in order to determine if students made gains in their grade level equivalency. As a whole, class averages and individual student grade level equivalencies improved as a result of the unit. Teachers were instructed through an in-service on how to incorporate this unit and instructional approach in their own classrooms and have begun to embrace it. It is my hope that my project will serve as a model and that other educators will realize the benefits of the guided reading approach.

Based, in part, on survey responses from adult readers as well as students, Reading in the Wild offers solid advice and strategies on how to develop, encourage, and assess five key reading habits that cultivate a lifelong love of reading. Also included are strategies, lesson plans, management tools, and comprehensive lists of recommended books. Copublished with Editorial Projects in Education, publisher of Education Week and Teacher magazine, Reading in the Wild is packed with ideas for helping students build capacity for a lifetime of "wild" reading. "When the thrill of choice reading starts to fade, it's time to grab Reading in the Wild. This treasure trove of resources and management techniques will enhance and improve existing classroom systems and structures." —Cris Tovani, secondary teacher, Cherry Creek School District, Colorado, consultant, and author of Do I Really Have to Teach Reading? "With Reading in the Wild, Donalyn Miller gives educators another important book. She reminds us that creating lifelong readers goes far beyond the first step of putting good books into kids' hands." —Franki Sibberson, third-grade teacher, Dublin City Schools, Dublin, Ohio, and author of Beyond Leveled Books "Reading in the Wild, along with the now legendary The Book Whisperer, constitutes the complete guide to creating a stimulating literature program that also gets students excited about pleasure reading, the kind of reading that best prepares students for understanding demanding academic texts. In other words, Donalyn Miller has solved one of the central problems in language education." —Stephen Krashen, professor emeritus, University of Southern California
